Farming in the Apocalypse

Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...

Chapter 007 Credit Card Maxed Out

After the only living sample mouse in her previous life was put into the space and starved to death, Jingshu no longer had any samples to conduct experiments.

It is true that eating vegetables from Lingquan can strengthen the body, but the cabbage, which originally has a 90-day growth cycle, becomes white and plump after only 5 days with Lingquan. Will this accelerated growth shorten its lifespan?

When vegetables are ripe in the fields, spiritual springs will not be automatically supplied, but if they are not harvested for a long time, they will become old and dry. Does this mean that as long as there is spiritual spring, the vegetables will not become old and dry? What effect will spiritual springs have on animals and humans?

So Jingshu came to the livestock breeding base in advance to conduct experiments on livestock of different sizes and lifespans. She didn't want to be weak and killed inexplicably in this life.

She wants to become strong in all aspects, be low-key in life, and be able to do things in a high-profile manner at any time.

As soon as they arrived at the breeding base, a row of small truck drivers came out of the door to solicit business and transport livestock. Jingshu spent 300 yuan to choose a driver named Sister Zhou who had seven years of driving experience.

The smell emitted by various livestock in the breeding base was really unbearable. Jingshu quickly picked out 15 hens, 2 roosters, 6 ducks, 1 drake, 5 rabbits, and 10 quails and swiped her credit card for 2,500 yuan. Sister Zhou quickly carried the cages in batches and moved them to the small truck.

Next, I bought a heifer for 4,000 yuan, a bull for 3,500 yuan, two lambs, one male and one female, for a total of 1,700 yuan; and two black piglets, one male and one female, for a total of 1,000 yuan. I heard that black pork is delicious... slurp...

Sister Zhou not only helped to identify and bargain, but also asked the seller to provide some feed, feed boxes, troughs and other accessories for each type of livestock. When the two of them filled the truck with all the livestock they bought, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, the little black pig and the lamb were small and did not take up space, and the chickens, ducks and rabbits all had cages. But the chickens and ducks kept clucking. Couldn't they learn from the little black pig and find a comfortable place to sleep?

Before getting in the car, Jingshu took pictures of the license plate number and the cattle and sheep in front of Sister Zhou. After getting in the car, she smiled and explained to Sister Zhou: "I told my dad that I'm safe and that I've bought everything. He always worries about me shopping alone."

Girls should pay extra attention to safety when going out in relatively desolate and uninhabited places, especially when there is a car of livestock worth 12,700 yuan. Money can tempt people, so don't test human nature casually.

"It's as she should be. Girls should be as vigilant as you. Don't worry, girl, I will definitely get you home safely." Sister Zhou said with a smile. She didn't mind because the little girl was very frank in doing things.

Using the navigation system, Jingshu asked Sister Zhou to take her to the villa. It was a remote place with few cars to be seen. She swiped her ID card at the gate of the community and drove for a while before arriving. Sister Zhou also helped to get the chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and cattle down. Jingshu swiped her credit card for 350 yuan and said, "I'm sorry for delaying your lunch. I'll compensate you 50 yuan."

Sister Zhou left her phone number and smiled from ear to ear. As she left, she was still thinking, "Do all those who live in villas like to raise pigs and sheep these days? City people really know how to have fun."

Jingshu didn't dare use the space in front of the villa. This was a real estate project built in 2018. Not far away was a residential complex that could accommodate tens of thousands of people. Although more than half of the houses hadn't been sold, and those that had been sold were mostly for hoarding, who could guarantee that anyone would live there? Could there be cameras around?

It’s a pity that China has a population of 1.4 billion, but only has enough houses to accommodate 6 billion people!

After opening the yard door, Jingshu was already exhausted and panting after taking everything in one trip after another. She closed the yard door and checked the surroundings before putting the two calves and two lambs into the 4 cubic meter space. When the cattle and sheep grow up, the space will need to be increased. Now it is just right, not crowded, and there is still room for them to move around.

The two little black pigs were thrown into a space of 1 cubic meter, 17 chickens were thrown into a space of 4 cubic meters, 7 ducks were thrown into a space of 2 cubic meters, 5 rabbits were thrown into a space of 1 cubic meter, and 10 quails were also given a space of 1 cubic meter. Jingshu threw the feeding troughs and cages in without locking them, and also found water in the villa and poured it in.

The chickens stopped crowing and the sheep became quiet. It was as if the space had magic, simulating the temperature and climate that was most suitable for them.

In addition to the space occupied by livestock, Jingshu now has 1 cubic meter of feed; 1 cubic meter of mushroom bags; 1 cubic meter of seeds; and 1 cubic meter of sweet potato and yam root seeds given by the boss.

Jingshu Space Usage: 1 Lingquan

+6 fields +13 livestock +4 sundries, and 40 cubic meters of space. Cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, rabbits will use the space at any time, but after making dried meat, smoked meat, etc., Jingshu will only leave a few for seeds.

The diluted spiritual spring liquid needs to be prepared again when I get back. The feed can last for a few days. Once the vegetables in the space have grown well, I can feed them with leaves.

Jingshu walked around the villa for a field inspection, and after further considering the renovation plan in her mind, she locked the door and left.

She wanted to find a taxi, but there was no one to pick up after waiting for an hour. She had to pay 10 yuan extra for Didi to get a car from 5 kilometers away. Without saying a word, Jingshu went straight to the energy vehicle market. The reason was that she was about to renovate her villa and it would be inconvenient without a car. When she sold both the house and the car, she could use the energy vehicle to go to work for a few days. When the end of the world comes, she won't have to go so far to work.

After the apocalypse, cars that burn gasoline and diesel are like scrap metal because there is no oil, and even those that burn natural gas are useless; only energy vehicles are very popular, especially when you are running around for refuge. If you have an energy vehicle, others will walk while you take a car... tsk.

I plan to buy an energy vehicle sooner or later, so let’s do it today.

To date, hybrid vehicles have been primarily gasoline-electric. Because power and range remain unresolved, their market share remains low. Despite their impressive claims, they still require a recharge after traveling just over 100 kilometers, reach speeds below 60 mph, require constant monitoring, are difficult to charge, and have unpredictable battery failures, making them less valuable.

But! If there is a car that can run in the apocalypse, you can just laugh secretly. No matter how awesome a gasoline car is, what’s the use if it can’t run in the apocalypse.

Jingshu said nothing and went straight to the old model of BYD Song X. The state gave a large part of the subsidy. It is a luxurious seven-seater car with a large space, LED light to save energy, 360° panoramic image, and a single charge costs only a few dollars. Now it only costs more than 60,000 to buy a luxury top-end model!

Chose the red one, Jingshu shamelessly took out a loan, maxed out her credit card for the 27,000 yuan down payment, completed the formalities, only bought compulsory traffic insurance, and got a temporary license plate, then Jingshu drove Song x home!

I learned to drive when I was 18, and I rarely drive my parents’ car, so Jingshu’s skill is that as long as you stay away from her, you can survive [smile].

It took a lot of effort to park the car in the community parking space. Jingshu went to buy more than a dozen bottles of mineral water, and returned home completely penniless and hungry. When she opened the door, she saw her uncle, aunt, aunt and uncle sitting neatly on the sofa, and then they all turned around.

Jingshu swallowed and checked the time. 6:25 PM. Oh, even if they were off work, why was he looking at her like that? What was wrong?
